Hors-série The Great War

Not that it was "great," but it was global — the first war to be so. Its memory, and the trauma it forged through the accumulation of daily horrors, became permanently fixed in the collective imagination. Gathered here — closing out this tribute to the war books once kept by one of its soldier-writers, Maurice Genevoix — are other writers, other copies, other texts and artists who, whether up close or from a distance, lived the reality of the trenches and were able to bear witness to it.
